Open Bargaining Tomorrow
/IAPE and Dow Jones contract negotiations will continue with a remote session scheduled for tomorrow morning. All interested members are invited to join open bargaining, and can receive a meeting link by clicking the registration link in their email.
Last week, the union and the company continued to discuss department structures and seniority protection. IAPE responded to management’s News department proposal, and Dow Jones responded to union proposals to merge certain workgroups within New Ventures, Media Sales, PIB and Print & Customer Service.
Wednesday: IAPE 101
IAPE 101, the union’s orientation class for newcomers and Q&A session for veteran members, makes its return on Wednesday, Dec. 6. At 2:00 p.m. EST. All members may join our remote feed. Please register through the IAPE Events Page to receive your meeting link.
IAPE 101 is a half-hour class addressing the basics of IAPE membership: What is a union? How does IAPE function? How does IAPE fit into Dow Jones? What are the benefits of union membership? We also save plenty of time for Q&A, especially for members who have questions about contract negotiations.
